Safety notes
This chapter contains general safety
notes which you should always
observe to protect yourself and third
parties. Also observe the warning
notes in each chapter of this user
manual.
Touching live parts can result in
severe injury or death.
– When connecting the device, make
sure that the correct voltage is
present. You can find more informa-
tion about this on the rating plate.
– Check the device regularly for
damage.
Immediately disconnect the mains
plug and do not operate the device
if its housing or mains cord is
defective or exhibits other visible
damages.
– If the mains cord of the device is
damaged, only have it replaced
by the manufacturer, its customer
service department or a person
with similar qualifications.
– This device can only be completely
disconnected from the grid by
pulling the mains plug. Thus, make
sure that the mains plug is always
easily accessible.
– If the device emits smoke, smells
burnt or produces unusual sounds,
immediately disconnect it from the
mains and do not operate it further.
– Never open the device housing.
Repairs may only be carried out by
an authorised specialist workshop.
Only parts that match the original
specifications may be used.
– Only use the accessory products
specified by the manufacturer.
– Only use the device indoors.
– Do not operate the device in wet
rooms and protect it from dripping
and splashing water. Make sure
that no vases or other liquid-filled
objects are located on or near the
device in order to prevent liquid
from penetrating the housing. If
water or any foreign objects have
entered the housing, immediately
disconnect the mains plug and
send the device to our service
address.
– Never modify the device. Unauthor-
ised modifications may affect the
safety and functionality.
– Never touch the mains plug with
wet hands.
An unsuitable setup location may
result in injury and damage.
– If the subwoofer is not securely
mounted, do not use it in vehi-
cles, in unstable locations, on
wobbly tripods or furniture, on
underdimensioned brackets etc.
The subwoofer may tip or fall over
and cause injury to persons or be
damaged itself.
– Place the subwoofer in such a way
that it cannot be knocked over
inadvertently and make sure that
the cables do not pose a tripping
hazard.
5 • Subwoofer T8/T10
– Do not place the subwoofer near
heat sources (e.g. heaters, ovens,
other heat generating equipment
such as amplifiers etc.).
– Do not use the device in environ-
ments where there is a risk of
explosion.
– Only use the wireless function in
locations where wireless radio
transmission is allowed.
An unstable base may cause the
unit to tip and injure or even kill
persons, children are particularly
at risk. You can prevent a large
number of accidents by taking the
following precautions:
– Only place the subwoofer on the
floor.
– If you want to use underframes or
speaker stands, only use those
recommended by the manufac-
turer.
– When storing the product, also
ensure that it stands safely and
that it cannot be knocked down or
over.
Children can become trapped in
the plastic wrapping when playing
and suffocate.
– Do not allow children to play with
the device or the plastic wrapping.
There is a danger of suffocation.
– Ensure that children do not remove
small parts from the device or take
them off of the device (e.g. control
knobs or plug adapters). They could
swallow the parts and choke.
– Never allow children to operate
electrical equipment unsupervised.
Extended listening at high volumes
may lead to hearing loss.
To avoid damage to health, avoid
extended listening at high volumes.
– When the volume is set high,
always keep a certain distance
from the device and never place
your ear directly on the speaker.
– If a speaker is set to full volume,
this may produce very high sound
pressure. This may have psycho-
logical consequences and also
cause physical injury. Children and
pets are particularly at risk. Set
your signal source device volume
control to a low setting before
turning on the power.
This product contains magnetic
material.
– If necessary, consult your physician
and ask for effects on implants
such as pacemakers or defibrilla-
tors.
The isolation pads can produce
discolouration on sensitive
surfaces.
– On parquet, varnished wood and
similar surfaces, you should stick
felt gliders to the rubber feet of
the subwoofer or put blankets or
small carpets under them. This will
prevent discolouration of the floor
over the long term.

Explanation of symbols
Protection class II
Dual insulation
Risk of electrical shock –
do not open the housing.
Disconnect the mains cord
before changing a fuse.
Old devices must not
be disposed of with
household waste!
If the device is no longer
operational, every
consumer is required
by law to dispose of old
devices separately from
household waste, e.g. at
a collection point run by
the communal authority/
borough. This ensures that
old devices are recycled
in a professional manner
and also rules out nega-
tive consequences for the
environment.
For this reason, electrical
equipment is marked with
the adjacent symbol.

Assembly and Setup
To the extent possible, you should
set up the subwoofer in front of
your sitting area close to the front
speakers. Generally, you can also
set it up at any other location in the
room as the human ear is unable to
localise low tones.
You can operate the subwoofer as
downfiring (membrane facing down)
or frontfiring (membrane facing
forward).
• Downfire: The subwoofer projects
the sound waves directly towards
the ground. The sound waves are
directly reflected and thus produce
a uniform signal in the entire room.
The subwoofer can also be set up
close to the wall or directly next to
or under other furniture.
• Frontfire: The subwoofer projects
the sound waves to the front. The
bass reaches your ear via the
shortest path so it is particularly
precise and crisp. The subwoofer
requires free space in front of the
membrane and should not be close
to the wall. Otherwise, this may
produce uncontrollable frequency
rises.
You can find more information in the
Teufel blog at
https://blog.teufe-
laudio.com/front-and-down-firing-
subwoofers/
– Use one screw (3) to screw each
support foot (2) onto the subwoofer
according to the graphics.
– The connectors should be pointing
down in frontfire operation.

Connecting
You can find further tips
and infos here:
https://
www.teufelaudio.com/service.html
Audio connection
You can connect the subwoofer to
your receiver with the SUB IN jack
(15) using an RCA cable or connect
wirelessly.
You can set the audio input of the
subwoofer using the “INPUT” switch
(10):
• “SUB IN” – If you have connected
the subwoofer to the subwoofer
output on your AV receiver.
• “WIRELESS” – If your AV receiver
supports the wireless connection
with the subwoofer (you can find
a list of compatible devices at
https://www.teufel.de/was-passt-
wozu.html) or if you use the
subconnect transmitter.
In case of connection via SUB IN
Use a mono RCA cable (not included
in the package contents) to connect
the SUB IN jack (15) to the AV receiv-
er’s subwoofer output.
Mains connection
1. Insert the plug of the mains cord
(4) in a mains socket (220–240
V ~/50 Hz). The POWER-LED (8) will
illuminate in green and the STATUS
LED (6) will blink in blue for approx.
60 seconds.

(15)
(8) (10)
11 • Subwoofer T8/T10
Use and Settings
Automatic activation/
deactivation
– You can switch the mode with the
POWER switch (9):
ON The subwoofer is perma-
nently switched on.
AUTO The subwoofer switches
itself on as soon as an
audio signal is present.
If there’s no audio signal
for approx. 20 minutes,
the subwoofer switches to
standby.
– If the auto-function doesn’t switch
correctly, you can use the AUTO
LEVEL control (14) to increase the
sensitivity (turn to the right) or to
decrease it (turn to the left). You
will need a small screwdriver to do
this.
Establishing a wireless
connection
If your receiver is compatible, estab-
lish the cordless connection to the
subwoofer like this:
1. If applicable, slide the INPUT switch
(10) to the “WIRELESS” position.
2. Switch your subwoofer and your
wireless-compatible receiver or
also the subconnect transmitter
on.
The STATUS LED (6) will blink and
the devices will now automatically
connect. An existing connection
is indicated by the continuously
illuminated STATUS LED (6).
Proceed as follows to connect for
the first time or if the devices do not
connect automatically or the connec-
tion is interrupted:
1. Hold down the PAIRING button (16)
until the STATUS LED (6) blinks
quickly.
2. Then perform the corresponding
steps on your receiver to establish
the connection (for this, refer to the
user manual for your receiver).
Adjusting the volume
– Use the SUB LEVEL control
(13) to adjust the volume of the
subwoofer.
If the CLIP LED (7) lights up, the
input signal is too high. In this
(6)
(16) (14)
(8) (10)(9)
12 • Subwoofer T8/T10
case, reduce the subwoofer level
on your receiver.
Configuring the sound
pattern
– With the BASS BOOST control (12),
set the low tone sound character-
istics: from maximum depth up to
enhanced kickbass.
Adjusting the receiver
and subwoofer
Most receivers have a menu with
settings for the speakers (called
“Speaker Setup” or similar). By
following our recommendations
below, you can perfectly align the
receiver and the subwoofer:
Receiver settings
If possible, use your receiver’s cali-
bration function so that it automat-
ically adjusts the levels, phase and
run times to the room. If your receiver
doesn’t provide an automatic calibra-
tion function, the following values are
recommended:
• Subwoofer to “On”.
• Crossover frequency for subwoofer
(cut-off frequency) to 80–150
Hz depending on the connected
speaker system.
Subwoofer settings
• POWER switch (9) to “AUTO”.
• SUB LEVEL control (13) and BASS
BOOST control (12) to the interme-
diate position.
• PHASE switch (11) to “0°”.
1. Perform an audio test now and
adjust the “SUB LEVEL” control
(13) until the subwoofer can be
“easily heard”. However, it must
not drone.
2. If any deep “hits” are too hard or
too soft, adjust the setting of the
BASS BOOST control (12) and/or
the PHASE switch (11).
3. Repeat these steps with different
video and audio media.

Troubleshooting
The following advice should help you to solve problems. If this does not work, our
online manual will provide help:
https://manual.teufelaudio.com
Problem Possible cause/solution
The POWER
LED (8) of the
subwoofer does
not illuminate.
Make sure that power is supplied. Check to make sure that
the mains cord is securely seated.
The subwoofer
does not auto-
matically turn
off.
Set the POWER switch (9) to “AUTO”.
If operated via
a cable connec-
tion: Playback is
noisy.
The audio cable between the AV receiver and subwoofer is
too long and/or the shielding is not sufficient.
If possible, use a short, well shielded RCA cable or use the
wireless connection.
For a wireless
connection: The
transmission is
disrupted.
Other wireless signal sources (cordless telephones, Wi-Fi
stations or microwaves) affect the connection. Move the
devices causing the disturbance.
